I just wish you were in love with me.
As did I, we dream to die, we dream tonight
RSSHad a talk with my old man, said “help me understand”, he said “turn 68, you’ll renegotiate, don’t stop this train, don’t for a minute change the place you’re in, don’t think I couldn’t ever understand, I tried my hand John, honestly we’ll never stop this train…”
Half of my heart’s got a real good imagination
Half of my heart’s got you
Half of my heart’s got a right mind to tell you
That half of my heart won’t do
- Half Of My Heart - John Mayer
Eu sou vários. Há multidões em mim. Na mesa de minha alma sentam-se muitos, e eu sou todos eles. Há um velho, uma criança, um sábio, um tolo. Você nunca saberá com quem está sentado ou quanto tempo permanecerá com cada um de mim. Mas prometo que, se nos sentarmos à mesa, nesse ritual sagrado eu lhe entregarei ao menos um dos tantos que sou, e correrei os riscos de estarmos juntos no mesmo plano. Desde logo, evite ilusões: também tenho um lado mau, ruim, que tento manter preso e que quando se solta me envergonha. Não sou santo, nem exemplo, infelizmente. Entre tantos, um dia me descubro, um dia serei eu mesmo, definitivamente. Como já foi dito: ouse conquistar a ti mesmo.

About As did I, we dream to die, we dream tonight
Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.
